You Probably Want To Play Anthem’s Campaign Solo, Despite What The Game Says

Like most loot shooters, Anthem wants you to play with friends. And unlike say, Destiny, it manages to make that easy given that every single activity in the game has matchmaking, including all of its story missions.

And yet the further I get in Anthem, the more I’m realize that at least for the campaign itself, it is probably in your best interest to play the campaign solo. To do this, you have to make your expedition “private” instead of public, and when you do so, you’ll get a little message that says something like “wait, Anthem is better with a squad!” except I don’t think this is true for your first campaign run specifically.
